Re: S.H.I.E.L.D. [Whedon]
21Watered down Whedon for the masses (some probably already find him watered down, but he's swimming in some very mass appeal friendly procedural waters this time, unlike, say, having a vampire lead a detective agency or a teenage girl be a vampire slayer). It was good family fun, had a couple of typical Whedon twists. He's a somewhat predictable subverter of expectations but when he does, they work and are entertaining for what they are. Cast is too young and pretty to appear to be expert in anything, but what's new. They tie it in not only with The Avengers but with Iron Man 3 in a not insignificant way, which I thought was kind of cool. I'll keep watching.
